Mom Violy wanted to eat crispy pata and pinakbet from Seafood Island Restaurant located in Cubao, Quezon City near the old Shopwise. We had arrived early being the first customers waiting for the restaurant to open. Few minutes later customers began entering the restaurant and we have already placed our order. Mom Violy ordered her crispy pata and pinakbet. Carmina ordered garlic butter shrimp since I don't eat crispy pata. Family member ordered calamari and shrimp fried rice. Everyone had a taste of our meals with leftovers to bring home. Watch my video Running Errands in the Philippines . NOT SPONSORED.

When you live in the Philippines you end up missing food you are use to eating in California. What I have notice once a franchise comes to the Philippines the taste is not exactly the same how it is from back home. There seem to have a Filipino taste to adapt the Filipino's taste buds.
I have been looking for Authentic Mexican food. I have tried Hermanio's Taco Shop. They had great burritos, but when they had moved their branch. Their food began to change may be because their rent is more expensive. Or the cook has been changed.
They don't serve enchilada like in La Casita Mexican Restaurant in Fremont Blvd. Where I use to eat when I was young.
In high school I had a friend who we're Mexican and every lunch we would go out. My friend Marcy would invite me over with her cousin Marina and Edna to eat at her parent's family restaurant.
I didn't mind having a big meal every lunch. to eat her parent's chicken or beef enchilada with rice. We would ride in Marina's Volkswagen Beetle and squeeze inside just to fit into one car.
It was a blast during our Senior Year. We all had sewing classes together.
As we grew apart and Marcy's parent sold their family restaurant. Until this point I am still finding a better Mexican Restaurant.
I ate in one place a family had invited me to eat in celebration of her birthday. I was fooled and found out the Mexican Restaurant was mixed in with the Filipino taste.
I came across a place that makes good burrito at Army Navy. They have good chicken burrito with extra sour cream and guacamole.
Everyone loves In & Out Burger in California. I was able to discover a place that also has the same taste. Army Navy also has it called, "California Burger".
